Fixing the Winter Blues - PART I

FEBRUARY 12, 2008
by The Chief


I’ve never really liked winter. Well, perhaps back in the day when I was a young lad living in upstate New York and finding my way from point A to point B aboard a motorized contraption sporting two skis and a track. But that was then, and this is now.

Feeling a very realistic need to get away from the cold January in New York I decided to take a short road trip to a favorite spot of mine in Virginia.

Look out Virginia Beach, the Chief is coming back! So, on the road I head out—RoadLoK promotional material in one hand, camera in the other. One thing you have to understand right up front is the fact that I can’t get to Virginia Beach without first stopping to visit a favorite Harley dealership in Delaware.

More than just another Harley dealership, Mike’s Famous in Smyrna is like family to me.


There’s something about this whole area around Smyrna and Dover that tends to draw me to it. So as typical for me, I spend some time visiting and talking the talk about new developments—and of course—about the new Fat Bob I have on-order.

Back on the road, sporting my new hoodie from Mike’s, I continue my journey to the Beach; which by the way just happened to be about forty degrees warmer than New York. Seventy degrees and sunny is how this Chief likes to deal with the winter blues. Any questions?

After spending a nice weekend with friends and my Navy daughter, I head out Monday morning on a mission—a RoadLoK mission. There are many great Harley-Davidson dealerships in Virginia and many in the Beach area that are RoadLoK Dealers.

Watch out Richmond, here I come!
